How long does it usually take to get the results from this? My FIL had his PET scan last week.

Your FIL's medical team should already have the PET scan test results. Often, those test results are available within 24 hours. Does your FIL have an appointment scheduled? It might be worth his while to call his doctor and ask if the results are in and if he needs to schedule an appointment to review the results.

I did move your post to the Pancreatic Cancer Forum and deleted the duplicate one.

Not a problem. When I moved it, I left a "ghost" behind so others can see it under the General Topics as well. It just help to read what others have already said Wink.
